Russia allocated 400 million rubles for propaganda in Global South countries: how the scheme works.

The 'Rossotrudnichestvo' Program and Its Goals

According to inkorr.com: In the Global South countries, the 'Rossotrudnichestvo' program operates, which finances Kremlin centers. Over the past six months, more than 400 million rubles have been spent on its implementation, which is 1.5 times more than last year. The main goal of the program is to influence public opinion regarding Russia through cultural exchange, although analysts believe this is merely one of the tools in a hybrid war.

Efforts of the 'New Generation' Program

Within the 'New Generation' direction, the most efforts are concentrated. This program offers foreign activists, journalists, and entrepreneurs a trip to Russia for 'cultural exchange.' However, analysis shows that the initiative actually serves to spread Russian propaganda in other countries.

Thus, the 'Rossotrudnichestvo' program continues to play an important role in Russia's foreign policy, attempting to influence countries through cultural projects. However, the real impact of such efforts is questioned by experts who emphasize the risks of the propaganda component.
